Laser Hair Removal (Diode Laser)

Diode laser hair removal that targets the pigment in the hair to gradually reduce growth across the face and body. Because hair grows in cycles, a series of sessions is needed to treat follicles during their active phase. At MEDIWA Clinic almost every body area is priced individually, with discounted six-session packages for popular zones such as underarms, bikini, legs and back. A short consultation confirms suitability for your skin and hair type.

Laser hair removal uses a diode laser that emits a wavelength of light absorbed by the melanin pigment in the hair shaft. The light is converted to heat, which travels down to the follicle and is intended to disable its ability to produce new hair, gradually thinning and reducing growth in the treated area. Because hair grows in cycles and the laser mainly affects follicles in their active growth phase, a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart is required for a meaningful, lasting reduction — which is why the clinic offers discounted six-session packages alongside single treatments. At MEDIWA Clinic the area is shaved and you wear protective eyewear before treatment; a session can take from a few minutes for a small zone such as the upper lip up to longer for large areas such as legs or the back. The diode laser typically incorporates contact cooling to protect and soothe the skin, and most people describe a warm snapping sensation during pulses. The skin may look slightly pink for a short time afterwards. Results build over the course as more follicles are caught in their active phase, and occasional maintenance sessions may be wanted later. The clinic prices virtually every facial and body area individually for both women and men. Recent tanning is avoided and sun protection is advised; suitability for your skin and hair colour, along with any contraindications, is confirmed beforehand.
